Charging an electric vehicle is simple and painless—if you have a charger installed at home.
There are several EV-charging network providers currently in the market: EVgo, Blink, ChargePoint, Volta, Wallbox and Electrify America, which is owned by Volkswagen. These companies maintain, build, operate or lease their equipment to businesses, individuals and governments and offer subscription services to members.
EVgo has been partnering with major retailers like Safeway, Albertsons, Whole Foods and Kroger to install charging stations in their shopping parking lots. The company also teamed up with General Motors in 2020 to build 2,700 new fast stations over the next five years. "It will push things along but it will take substantially more [money] than that," he told ABC News."Every state is lacking in infrastructure -- even California. We have a massive need for chargers both in the U.S. and globally."A Blink charging station is seen in a Whole Foods grocery store parking garage in Washington, D.C., March 31, 2021.Construction of an EV station can take four to eight weeks, according to Zoi, and the cost depends on the type of charger.
"EVs still take a whole lot of planning. You have to know how long your trip is and carefully plan your charging schedule and locations," he told ABC News."The infrastructure is terrible. The good news is that there are not many EVs on the roads."The ability to charge on the go and travel long distances will move the needle on EV adoption and sales, Brauer said. Yet installing and deploying chargers is a risky business right now.
He added,"Consumers want automakers to curate their charging experience. They want it to be seamless."
